Your Brain Is Not a Fish
Our brain stems, inherited from amphibian ancestors, still spurt out odd signals producing hiccups that are, according to Shubin, essentially the same phenomenon as gill breathing. This is atavism, or evolutionary throwback activity, at work. The Best Cure for Hiccups: Remind Your Brain You're Not a Fish
A screenshot of an article shows a strange fish-like amphibian underwater above text explaining that hiccups may be an evolutionary remnant of gill breathing. The joke is the absurd suggestion that hiccups happen because the brain is confusing humans with fish, so the cure is to remind it otherwise.
